‘Huge labour shortage’ in Australian agriculture

There’s a “huge labour shortage” in the Australian agriculture industry which ranges from skilled to short-term workers according to National Farmers Federation Vice President David Jochinke.
“Which equates to roughly 172,000 people that we require just to get the work done,” he told Sky News Australia.
“So what we’re wanting to see is … some significant programs to help fill that void, noting that we used to have a lot of this filled by the holiday worker market which has changed due to some regulatory changes but also Australia being less attractive.”

    Foreign agricultural and construction workers cannot enter Australia because Education mafias has controlled immigration rules. They have designed a lot of traps and barriers to immigration regulations, to make sure only student visa easy to apply and fullfilled. If foreign construction workers can build cheap housing in Australia, then the properties investments of education mafias will plummet. If foreign agriculture workers easily come to Australia, then nobody will pay the education mafias 5 times tuition fees for trade certificate or diploma. If this education mafias keep controlling this imigration, food crisis, cheap housing crisis and healthcare crisis keep exist in Australia.

    Check out farm labour wages. Wealthy Farmers too tight to pay a decent liveable wage , they deserve all they get . Too many tax breaks. 1 bad season and they scream out for taxpayer funded handouts ( welfare ). Cereal farmers in SA make millions season after season . Farmers rave on about people not wanting to work. Workers will no longer be low paid slaves.
